Model of coral population response to accelerated bleaching and mass mortality in a changing climate (2009, result): “This size-distribution compares to Bak and Meesters (1999) and Meesters et al. (2001) for several Caribbean species of massive coral.”
Size distribution, density and disturbance in two Mediterranean gorgonians: Paramuricea clavata and Eunicella singularis (2008, background): “2004; Bianchimani 2005), but contrasts with the idea that under environmental deterioration coral populations display negative skewness coefficients (Bak & Meesters 1998; Meesters et al. 2001).”
Population structure of the oldest known macroscopic communities from Mistaken Point, Newfoundland (2013, background): “transformation of size data typically produces a more accurate representation of population structure, and better reflects age distributions than non-transformed data (Bak and Meesters 1999; Meesters et al. 2001).”
Competition Among Sessile Organisms on Coral Reefs (2011, background): “…of population size structure can provide a wealth of information on patterns and rates of population decline or growth (Bak and Meesters 1999, Meesters et al. 2001, Goffredo and Chadwick-Furman 2003, Guzner et al. 2007), and need to be incorporated into studies on impacts of competitive…”
